Mastery #27: Some of those hitless achievements were tougher than expected, but I had a fun time with them. Appreciate the set! Just barely made it in time for the Halloween event.

I really enjoyed the set and the challenges and even the ones without damage, they were satisfying. Thank you so much Brian for the set. I also took the opportunity to watch the movie that I had been waiting to see for years.

During the Snake Boss Damageless achievement when I restarted the emulator I was given the following achievements: Explore all of Jack's House/Halloween Town Square/Oogie's Lair/Pumpkin Patch/Graveyard/Dr.finkelstein's Lab achievements when loading my game. If these are for filling out the map then I have not done that and they are bugged.
